Degree 1 Taylor on a interval

◀ Back to Taylor definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{R}v\)
where \(R\) is the reference element.

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 1\)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:v\mapsto v'(\tfrac{1}{2})\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x - \frac{1}{2}\)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
